Michael Allen created ACCUMULO-2713:
---------------------------------------
Summary: Instance secret written out with other configuration
items to RFiles and WALogs when encryption is turned on
Key: ACCUMULO-2713
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-2713
Project: Accumulo
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1.5.1
Reporter: Michael Allen
Priority: Critical
Fix For: 1.6.0
The encryption at rest feature records configuration information in order to
encrypted RFiles and WALogs so that if the configuration changes, the files can
be read back. The code that does this recording hovers up all the "instance.*"
entries, and does not pick out the instance.secret as a special one not to
write. Thus the instance secret goes into each file in the clear, which is
non-ideal to say the least.
Patch forthcoming.
